With so many shows and movies to choose from on Australia's major streaming services, it can often be difficult to find the best new stuff to entertain yourself with each week.
In an effort to make things easier, we've hand-picked the best new shows and movies to watch on Aussie streaming platforms this week, covering the likes of Netflix, Disney Plus, Binge, Foxtel Now, Stan, Apple TV Plus and Amazon Prime Video.
Below, you'll find a list of this week's highlights, with binge-worthy new shows sitting alongside some great big-budget new movie arrivals – and a couple of oddball left-of-field entries, just for some variety.
The big new shows and movies this week include Netflix's Masters of the Universe: Revelation, Disney's Turner and Hooch series, and the horrifyingly brilliant reality series Sexy Beasts. Here are our streaming picks for the week of July 19-25, 2021.

Turner and Hooch: Season 1
(TV series – premieres 21/07/21)
Set 30 years after the original Turner and Hooch, this new Disney Plus original series sees detective Scott Turner (Josh Peck, playing the son of Tom Hanks' character from the movie) inherit a rescue dog from his late dad that's said to be "almost like the original Hooch came back." Expectedly, the messy mutt turns his life upside down at the outset, but we expect the pair will become best friends before the end of the show's first season.
